Hi Theresa,
Adrian and I had a great time in Jamaica after some early difficulties on the trip. The red-eye flight to Houston was fine, as was the layover and the flight to Montego Bay. When we got there, so had everyone else. There were thousands and thousands of people in the airport. It took two hours just to clear customs. We then sat on the bus for the resort for 45 minutes while they waited for it to be completely full. There was no leg room and no place to put carry-on bags other than your lap. The trip to the resort was two hours long. We hadn’t slept for 36 hours by the time we got there. I have a bad back, and the two hours standing in line, and three hours on the cramped bus were murder after the long flight. We were completely fried by the time we got there. Adrian was about to blow up and all I could do was pray that he liked the vacation, which he did (this was our first vacation together and I felt very responsible because I booked it).
Other than that, the room was nice and romantic. It needed a little work in the bathroom but that didn’t bother us. The room is located close to the central lodge, which is convenient. The resort itself was lovely and the people very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were great. The resort is large and there is renovation work going on, which is a positive.
We did some sailing and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a number of other activities going on, but we spent most of the time laying around because we needed the rest.
I would definitely do a Sandals vacation again, with a few alterations. If I had it to do over, I would probably not take the red-eye, because the time in country until we got to the resort was almost five hours. I also would have paid extra to ride in a van and leave the airport immediately, rather than wait on the cramped bus for 45 minutes, and then have to make a concessions stop.
If you have some vacation deals that come up for next December or January, please let me know.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Beth Howell
